[Bug 1908928] Re: locales 2.27-3ubuntu1.4 enabled random locales

[Avamander]

I ran an upgrade from 18.04 to 20.04 and it generated these locales:

```
Generating locales (this might take a while)...

  en_ZA.UTF-8... done
  en_ZM.UTF-8... done
  en_ZW.UTF-8... done
  et_EE.UTF-8... done
Generation complete.
```

While only `et_EE.UTF-8`, `en_GB.UTF-8` and `en_US.UTF-8` were enabled.

This is `/var/lib/locales/supported.d/en` after the release upgrade:
```
en_HK.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_DK.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_IN UTF-8
en_IL UTF-8
en_ZM UTF-8
en_ZW.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_NZ.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_PH.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_NG UTF-8
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_AU.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_SG.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_BW.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_AG UTF-8
en_ZA.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_CA.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_IE.UTF-8 UTF-8
```

I think the locale package is still overriding user wishes and some
installation script is generating files it should not.
